Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Africa World Airlines (AWA), a regional airline based in Accra, Ghana, has announced the suspension of its flights from Monrovia and Freetown due to high operation costs resulting from the rising cost of jet fuel.<\/p>\n

It would be the second airline suspending its flights to Liberia this year due to high operational costs. Air France, one of two airlines that were providing direct flights from Monrovia to Europe closed its offices in April this year because of \u201cthe economic performance, the current geopolitical situation, and the Air France-KLM\u2019s overall plan to restore its profitability.\u201d<\/p>\n
